Speaker 2: But here it is Cabbage Night in America. We're back

Speaker 3: I'll be here tomorrow with all of the goodies and goblins,

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 3: goblins and goals and Mark Ronner.

11
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 2: Something scary happened today in Cypress Park. A man or

12
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: someone man or woman not sure. This person ended up

13
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: in a storm drain in Cypress Park and had to

14
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 2: be freed. It forced firefighters to shut down the southbound

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 2: Harbor Freeway, the one ten.

16
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 4: That's one way to spend your cabbage night.

17
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: Not a good start to the day, and this is

18
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: a busy freeway. This happened in the afternoon about one

19
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: twenty two on North Arroyo Seco Avenue. Individual a confined

20
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: space needing rescue was the call to the LAFD. The

21
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: firefighters show up, they shut down the southbound one ten

22
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: right at the transition to the five. The LAFD says

23
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: firefighters were able to quickly remove a gate covering this

24
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: storm drain and that man was able Oh, they do

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 2: igent fight as a man. That man was able to

26
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: climb out. Not clear yet how the person wound up

27
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 2: in the drain. And other terrible news on the one ten.

28
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 2: A pedestrian struck and killed this morning on the one

29
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: ten freeway in South LA. That's why I brought this up.

30
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 2: This is almost every other day at PILs like that.

31
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 2: This crosses our wire service from City News service that

32
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: a pedestrian. You know there are there's an inordinate number

33
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: of pedestrians hit by vehicles in Greater Los Angeles, but

34
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: every day, what's really shocking is the number of them

35
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: that are hit on the freeway. Yes, what are you

36
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: doing on the freeway now? When you drive you see

37
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: a lot of people who appear to be homeless, who

38
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: are crawling out of the bushes that are doing god

39
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: knows what behind there, maybe living there but or maybe

40
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: under the influence of drugs, yes, and stumbling out into

41
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: the lanes of traffic.

42
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 3: As a quick anecdote, I was in traffic yesterday, just

43
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 3: regular commuter traffic on this side streets, and it was

44
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 3: just after dusk, maybe seven thirty, so dark now, and

45
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 3: there was a person in the middle of the streets,

46
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 3: kind of in that middle lane. There was no median,

47
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 3: and he was visibly out of it completely, how for

48
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: whatever reason, out of it, and he was swerving like walking,

49
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,399
Speaker 3: but he's like moving into the lanes and cars were

50
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 3: swerving around him. So I called the police, and it

51
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 3: took the police a while to get to him. By

52
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 3: the time they got there, he was gone, thankfully. But

53
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 3: I just kept thinking, what if something that will be

54
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 3: the next going to be the next one?

55
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 2: Every day I see it frequently on the one ten. Yeah,

56
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: you know, I see it on the one ten a lot.

57
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: I'm sure you know by now that one of the

58
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: world's most famous museums, the Louver in Paris, which I've

59
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: had the pleasure of visiting. It's lovely, of course, it

60
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: was the target of a heist. One hundred and two

61
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: million dollars in loot taken from that museum. We're bringing

62
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 2: it up tonight because now there reports out of Oakland

63
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 2: that a museum was hit. But first, here's the latest

64
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: on the Louver situation. They've made some arrest.

65
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 5: Paris prosecutors say the two men who they believe helped

66
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 5: execute this stunning one hundred and two million dollar heist

67
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 5: of the Louver have partially admitted their involvements. Paris public

68
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 5: prosecutor Lord Becko citing major progress in the investigation. More

69
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 5: than a week after two suspects dressed as construction workers

70
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 5: broke into the Louver and made off with some of

71
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 5: France's crown jewels, prosecutors say they were watching the key

72
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 5: suspect arrested last night for some time. They say they've

73
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 5: got more and more leads from suspects phones, and they

74
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 5: now believe they have three of the four men suspected

75
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 5: of carrying out that daylight heist here at the Louver

76
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 5: eleven days ago in custody. Two of the men charged

77
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 5: overnight with gang related robbery. Prosecutors say they're now determined

78
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 5: to recover the jewels as their investigation accelerates.

79
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 6: You've been laughing since the lady said bon time.

80
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 5: Than a week after two suspects dressed as construction workers

81
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 5: broke into the loove and made off with some of

82
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 5: France's crown jewels. Prosecutors say they were watching the key

83
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 5: suspect arrested last night for some time. They say they've

84
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 5: got more and more leads from suspects phones, and they

85
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 5: now believe they have three of the four men suspected

86
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 5: of carrying.

87
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 2: Out that daylight.

88
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 5: Partially admitted their involvements have partially admitted their involvements.

89
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 3: Aren't hitting news right there?

90
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: Bon soir, Bon soir. They put that in there, well

91
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 2: a little. It probably just a style choice because this

92
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: this reporter is obviously speaking English. The prosecutors and the

93
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: police they're speaking French, so you just add a little

94
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 2: piece of the foreign language. He set some set some stage,

95
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: and then uh, then you move on from it.

96
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: That's like, you know, every fashion person says, take off

97
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 3: one thing before you leave the house.

98
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: That could have been left out, but you loved it

99
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,239
Speaker 2: the most. It's the most memorable part. It's definitely bone

100
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: swam really quick.

101
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 3: Speaking of the people captured, did you see this viral?

102
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: I was just about to ask about the hot detective.

103
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 2: He's not really a detective. Apparently this I know exactly

104
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 2: what you did. Oh no, there's a there was an

105
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: image going around online after this Louver heist of a

106
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: very attractive man dressed rather I mean very sophisticated but

107
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 2: kind of yes, very period piece, but also very natural

108
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 2: in these clothes.

109
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 6: It wasn't like a spectacle at all.

110
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: But he looked like the Frenchman that you you've warned

111
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 2: about because like your wife, you're not safe around this man.

112
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: He looks like and it's over, just a beautiful man.

113
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 2: But he was standing next to some police cars at

114
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 2: the scene of the heist, and the video and the

115
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 2: picture goes a viral. I'm sure if you search hot

116
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 2: detective Paris, the picture will show up good looking guy.

117
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 6: I think he was just a bystander.

118
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: Oh, but everyone was sharing it online like, well, this

119
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 2: guy's on the case. They're getting this guy. Yeah, we

120
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: were just talking about AI and you've kind of fallen

121
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: for a little bit of a hoax. And now we've

122
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 2: got to go to Oakland because it's not as big

123
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: as a heist as what we experienced in Paris one

124
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 2: hundred two million dollars in stuff stolen, But there has

125
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 2: been a theft at the Oakland Museum of California. Police

126
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: say a suspect or suspects stole more than one thousand

127
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 2: items from the museum's collection, including metalwork, jewelry, Native American baskets,

128
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 2: and everyday items like athletic trophies. This happened a couple

129
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,239
Speaker 2: of weeks ago at a storage facility that the museum uses.

130
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 2: Museum director and CEO Lori Fogerty says they're going public

131
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: now with the theft in case the artifacts show up

132
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: at flea markets, antique stores, or pawn shops.

133
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 7: We believe it was a crime of opportunity. We do

134
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 7: not think this was a high value art theft or

135
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 7: a heist.

136
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 4: Of some kind.

137
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 7: We think that there was an intrusion into the building

138
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 7: and the thieves ended up just grabbing what they could

139
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 7: get easily and taking off with it. They did take

140
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 7: some items that do have very important historic value, namely

141
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 7: several Native California baskets, some really beautiful jewelry by mid

142
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 7: century California jewelry maker, some scrimshaw whalebone artifacts. But they

143
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 7: also grab historic memorabilia like political pins and athletic awards.

144
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 7: We imagine a lot of this kind of material might

145
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 7: end up in a pawn shop or an antique store,

146
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 7: or even a flea market or which is why it's

147
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 7: so important to get the word out to the public

148
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 7: because people may see something that looks kind of not

149
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 7: like it should be there.

150
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 2: So it's different than the Louver in a lot of ways,

151
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: of course, But it seems like if you stole some

152
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: very old jewels from the Louver that you can't just

153
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: go hit up, you know, a pawn shop in all

154
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 2: sauce and run out with some money. Probably don't want

155
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 2: to do that, Yeah, Whereas here you might have gotten

156
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: something of value that might not be recognizable as priceless

157
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: or timeless. And this museum is asking for help. It

158
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: is the Oakland Museum of California that got hit as well.

159
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 2: There's only one guy who can solve that crime. And

160
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 2: it's the hot detective guy loose the photo. Yeah, who's

161
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: not really detective, but he looked the part and I

162
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 2: would trust him.

163
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 4: Do you know?

164
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 3: I was googling just information about the Louver and the

165
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 3: heist and all the things, and no fewer than five

166
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 3: different stories about other places involved in jewelry heist in

167
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 3: the last week, from southern California to Oklahoma to Jamaica. Unfortunately,

168
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 3: homes that have been evacuated, people are going in and.

169
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 4: Pillaging just all over the place.

170
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 3: So this seems to be a queen's it happens, has

171
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 3: happened in New York three point two million dollars from

172
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 3: a home and a personal safe. These stories are just

173
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 3: people are robbing, they are stealing.

174
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 6: Well, we've had recently here in La County.

175
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: A couple of train robberies basically, I mean they're cargo

176
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: thefts right, like they're orchestrated and so it's not like

177
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: bandits with bandanas over their faces, you know, on ponies

178
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 2: running alongside the train, but I mean them up twenty

179
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 2: first century train robberies going on. I don't know, maybe

180
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 2: we're in the long long, the wrong line of work.

181
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: I don't know that I would be any good at

182
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 2: that sort of stuff, but I that I would. I

183
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: don't like dressing up for Halloween, but I would dress up.

184
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: That's a raw little banditry. I could get into that

185
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 2: only on Cabbage night.

186
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 6: Cabbage Night is you got to look out for mischief.

187
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: Up next, there's a report out today that says firefighters

188
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 2: were cleaning up that Lachman fire in Palisades and some

189
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: of them thought they should stay. Remember that fire ended

190
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 2: up being the Palisades far one week later. We'll talk

191
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 2: about that coming up next. Michael Monks and Tiffany Hobbs.

192
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: Here, you're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

193
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 3: Tiffany Hobbes and Michael Monks filling in until ten o'clock

194
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 3: and then George Nori will be here with his big show.

195
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 3: We'll talk to George later this evening. I just want

196
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 3: to share with you that Carl's Junior is running a

197
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 3: very special promotion, especially at a time just prior to

198
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 3: what's happening on Saturday with the Snap Benefits and cal

199
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 3: Fresh happening, well, Carl's Junior has decided to step up

200
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 3: for their customers and for those of you in southern California.

201
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 3: They want to help families with the government shut down.

202
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 3: And what they're going to be doing is start Saturday,

203
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 3: they'll be offering one dollar meals. Yes, you'll be able

204
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 3: to get a meal for one dollar to families of

205
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 3: federal government employees, active duty military personnel, and recipients of EBT.

206
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 3: The whole family gets the meal. So here's the example.

207
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 3: Let's say you're in the military and you come in,

208
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 3: you show your ID, and you have a family of

209
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 3: four each of you will be given one meal for

210
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 3: one dollar each, which means your entire family of four

211
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 3: will eat four four dollars total. This is a beautiful promotion.

212
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 3: Carl's Junior wants to offer a little bit of help

213
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 3: and a lot of love again for families with EBT,

214
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 3: federal government and military. It's all in an effort to

215
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 3: support our community. It starts this Saturday, So get down

216
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 3: there too, Carl's Junior. Make sure you have something that

217
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 3: shows that you are a part of any of those

218
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 3: classifications and you can enjoy one dollar meals.

219
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 4: Way to go, Carls Junior.

220
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 2: A lot of people are going to be in need

221
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 2: this weekend as those food stamp benefits run out the

222
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 2: first of the month. On Saturday, those EBT cards will

223
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 2: not be loaded because of the federal government shutdown. We

224
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 2: reported earlier tonight that police and barstow are expected to

225
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 2: go out to grocery stores and anticipation of potential unrest.

226
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 2: So it's going to be a rough weekend for some

227
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 2: folks and rough for the foreseeable future until this government

228
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 2: gets its act together. Well, speaking of governments and acts together,

229
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 2: there is more fallout from the Palisades fire report out

230
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 2: of the Los Angeles Times Today shows that firefighters who

231
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 2: were cleaning up a brush fire on New Year's Day

232
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 2: that authorities eventually called the Lockman Fire and that they

233
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 2: also now say turned into the Palisades Fire. A week later,

234
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 2: those firefighters warned a battalion chief that there were signs

235
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 2: that first fire was still burning. You may recall that

236
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: just a few weeks ago, a man was arrested for

237
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,599
Speaker 2: allegedly starting the Lochman Fire on New Year's Day in

238
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 2: the area that the Palisades Fire originated. And what we

239
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: learned from that investigation was that the fire we know

240
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 2: as the Palisades Fire was born out of the Lochman Fire.

241
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 2: The Lachman Fire was never fully out, it was still

242
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 2: smoldering underground.

243
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's such an interesting development to know that one fire,

244
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: if you're not a fire officionado, you're not in the

245
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 3: fire department or study fire, that these things can burn

246
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 3: underground seemingly out of you know, anyone's i view, without

247
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 3: any indication that it's happening for weeks. Remember nine to

248
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 3: eleven the firefighters talking about how fires were smoldering four

249
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 3: months underground. So it's not unheard of by any means,

250
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 3: but we certainly didn't expect it connected to the Palisades fire,

251
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 3: but that it did, and that it reignited in the

252
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 3: winds on January sixth and seventh's just oh my, it's.

253
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 6: Just so cold.

254
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 2: What the fire department has been saying is that this

255
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: Lockman fire was battled to the best of their ability.

256
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 6: That's the official word.

257
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: And we saw official statements from the LA Fire Department

258
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: from their spokesperson online saying that these things happen, that

259
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 2: there are fires that continue to smolder underground, but the

260
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 2: fire department determined that it was okay to lead. However,

261
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 2: what we learned in this report from the La Times

262
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 2: is there were firefighters on the scene who told commanders

263
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: that it was a quote bad idea to leave the

264
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 2: scene of the Lochman fire, and we now know why

265
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 2: because that fire re emerged from the ground, bolstered by

266
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: the Santa Ana winds of January seventh and destroyed the Palisades.

267
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 3: And all of this has come out in the discovery process.

268
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 3: There's text messages that have now been shared, and those

269
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 3: text messages do show that a different firefighters specifically said

270
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 3: that crew members were upset when they were told to

271
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 3: pack up and leave, but that they could not ignore orders.

272
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 3: And that's because these firefighters were saying that there were

273
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 3: tree stumps that were still hot at the location when

274
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 3: they were starting to pack up, and that they had

275
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 3: even left hoses behind in case any of the hidden

276
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 3: embers sparked a flare up, but that they were reluctant

277
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 3: to go, but they had to follow their command orders.

278
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 3: They didn't want to leave, and this is what it

279
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 3: resulted in.

280
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 2: There is going to be a lot of fallout from

281
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 2: this fire, and it is damaged Mayor Karen Bass politically

282
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: as well. But on the same day that the La

283
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,119
Speaker 2: Times came out with this report related to the Palisades

284
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 2: fire and that investigation, Mayor Bass put out a press

285
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 2: release about arrests in the Subpulvet of Basin in the

286
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 2: San Fernando Valley related to arson fires. And this is

287
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 2: an area where residents have been complaining four years that

288
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 2: homeless people are setting hundreds of fires a year, and

289
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 2: today Mayor Bass says park rangers from the Department of

290
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: Recreation and Parks may be arrest in coordination with the

291
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 2: LA Fire Departments Arsen Investigation Unit, and it was It's

292
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: very rare for the mayor to put out a press

293
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 2: release about arresting people, and I think that this may

294
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 2: have been well timed to say that, you know, we

295
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 2: are fighting back in this part of town where so

296
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 2: many residents have said homeless people are starting fires and

297
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 2: the city is not doing anything about it. We just

298
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 2: had another Santa Ana win red flag warning yesterday this week,

299
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 2: please do something about this before things get bad.

300
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is image recovery at every level of our

301
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 3: city services, starting with the mayor, and the last thing

302
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 3: they want is for people to get closer to the

303
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 3: one year anniversary and remember the faults of city services.

304
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 3: So they're trying to do this image cleanup and make

305
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 3: sure that we know as the public that they're doing

306
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 3: everything they can to mitigate this situation so it doesn't

307
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 3: happen again.

308
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 2: And we do keep hearing from Rick Caruso, the local

309
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 2: businessman who lost to Karen Bass in the twenty twenty

310
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 2: two mayoral election, and he's got a lot to say

311
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 2: about the response to the fires and the rebuilding effort

312
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 2: and the homeless population and other issues facing Los Angeles.

313
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 2: But one thing he has not said officially yet is

314
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 2: whether he will be a candidate again. We do know

315
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 2: Mayor Bass is running for reelection, but whether there is

316
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 2: going to be anyone beyond Austin Buener, the former superintendent

317
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 2: and deputy mayor, to run against her, it's yet to

318
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 2: be seen. We will continue to follow. We're going to

319
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 2: talk sports next, but sport in a unique way because

320
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 2: sports is becoming news, and not just because the Dodgers

321
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 2: are going on to Toronto for Game six and I

322
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 2: guess they hope game seven of the World Series if

323
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 2: needed seven. Yeah, it's gonna have to be seven for

324
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 2: the Dodgers. And what's happening is one local city has

325
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 2: decided to sue the Bruins of UCLA over the use

326
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 2: of one of the stadiums, and also the only city

327
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 2: council is moving to make sure that the closing ceremonies

328
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 2: of the twenty twenty eight Olympics takes place only in

329
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 2: one stadium and not two the way it was originally announced.

330
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 2: We'll talk about this stadium Sagas Sports with sports anchor

331
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 2: Tiffany Hobbs and Michael Monks.

332
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI Am six forty. I'm Michael Monks.

333
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 2: From KFI News alongside Tiffany Hobbes. Usually hear US hosting

334
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 2: shows on Saturdays. Saturdays with Tiffany follows. D Michael Monks

335
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 2: reports every Saturday. But here we are all Hallo's eve tired.

336
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 4: Look at us.

337
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 3: You know, it's catching up to us. It is, and

338
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 3: I'm just so happy that we get to talk about.

339
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 6: Sports we do.

340
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 2: Indeed, the city of Pasadena is suing UCLA to keep

341
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 2: the Bruins out.

342
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 6: No, oh, they want to keep them in.

343
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 4: Oh no, the wrong move.

344
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 2: Now you're a USC girl, I am yeah, And I

345
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 2: don't know how intense the rivalry is for you. I mean,

346
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 2: is it like thumbs down on the Bruins and all occasions.

347
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 2: You're not on a friendly rivalry at all.

348
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,719
Speaker 3: It's weapons up, it's whatever that will move them away

349
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 3: from US. I speak for Petro's Papadacus and all of

350
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 3: the us E people. It doesn't really matter where UCLA

351
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 3: moves to. Because they're five and three. Perhaps they should

352
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 3: concentrate their efforts on their sports.

353
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 6: You inverted that and they're there.

354
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 4: You so I'm sorry, three and five look for me.

355
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 6: I was see.

356
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 2: I'll say this, you know, because we work on Saturdays,

357
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 2: and so college football is usually taking place. I follow

358
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 2: and I'll update the scores throughout the night, and so

359
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 2: I'm following the Bruins and the three times but they

360
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: were zero and four. Who Ucla? Yes, and then they won.

361
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 2: They fire their coach, they win three in a row.

362
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 2: I guess they got this hot assistant that as a

363
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 2: UCLA grad and everybody's real hot on the team again,

364
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 2: like we've got some momentum. But they got their butts

365
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 2: whipped at Indiana last Saturday, and they're off this week,

366
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 2: so they've got a little time. But apparently the bye

367
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 2: week is something a little more dangerous for them because

368
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 2: Pasadena is like, let's play ball and let's play in court.

369
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 2: Because the Bruins had signed a lease to play at

370
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 2: the Rose Bowl until twenty forty four. And there are

371
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 2: I guess rumors according to Pasadena that UCLA is looking

372
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 2: to move their games to Sofi Stadium in Inglewood.

373
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 3: Oh, they want to go big and they maybe want

374
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 3: to be closer to campus.

375
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 2: You know, the Rose Bowl is twenty five miles driving

376
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 2: from Westwood. It is from the campus. That's a long

377
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 2: way to go.

378
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: It is.

379
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 4: It's the tradition of it all, exactly.

380
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: The Rose Bowl is iconic blaze. You know it at

381
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 2: every corner of America. You know the Rose Bowl, But you,

382
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 2: as a USC gal, you know Memorial Coliseum. I do.

383
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 3: I do fight on and I can understand the attachment

384
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 3: that people have to spaces and not wanting to have

385
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,959
Speaker 3: something new because it does shake up what you're used to.

386
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 3: And UCLA more or less belongs in the Rose in

387
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 3: the Rose Bowl stadium. It's it's synonymous, you know. And

388
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 3: to move them to Sofi, they need to get good before.

389
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 4: They even consider something like that.

390
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 2: I think they want to get good, and maybe this

391
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 2: is part of that effort. I'm not sure Memorial Coliseum

392
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 2: is actually closer to UCLA than the Rose Bull is

393
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 2: it is?

394
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:07,479
Speaker 8: It is?

395
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 3: There are quite a few other options, and I think

396
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 3: that UCLA has a very enlarged ego to just jump

397
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 3: right over other stadiums into so far.

398
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 2: I can't USC and UCLA share. No, No, don't.

399
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 6: The Lakers and the Clippers show.

400
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 4: Don't do that. No, you stop that right now.

401
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 6: They don't share anymore.

402
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 3: The lakerspers used to show exactly and that didn't work

403
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 3: out very well for any didn't it did not.

404
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 2: Here's the deal, UCLA has confessed that we continue to

405
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 2: evaluate the long term arrangement for UCLA football home games,

406
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 2: but no decision has been made now. This lawsuit filed

407
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 2: by the city and the Rose Bowl operating company, says

408
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 2: that basically UCLA has notified the city and the Rose

409
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 2: Bowl of the university's intent to take steps that will

410
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 2: breach an agreement that was signed in twenty ten and

411
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 2: amended in twenty fourteen. But they are supposed to be

412
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 2: playing there, according to this lawsuit, until twenty forty four

413
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 2: and it's upset Pasadena enough to send them to court.

414
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 2: But now let's talk about your home stadium, La Memorial Coliseum.

415
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 6: Okay.

416
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 2: It is a classic stadium in its own right, pretty

417
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 2: well known even across the country. Made its debut in

418
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 2: the nineteen thirty two Olympic Games. It has been part

419
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 2: of the nineteen eighty four Olympic Games, yes, and it

420
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 2: will be part of the twenty twenty eight Olympic Games,

421
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 2: making it the first venue to be part of three Olympics.

422
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 4: Look at the Memorial Coliseum.

423
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 6: Look at that.

424
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 2: Very very cool. But it's also at the center of

425
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 2: another little mini controversy, maybe involving Sofi Stadium or as

426
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 2: the official Olympics organization refers to it the Stadium in Inglewood,

427
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 2: because they don't use the branding on any of these.

428
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 2: That's why when you see Crypto referenced as any Olympic events,

429
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 2: it will be the Arena Downtown or the Downtown Arena.

430
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 2: The plan for the closing ceremonies in twenty twenty eight

431
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 2: was to be this unprecedented dual event, a little bit

432
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 2: going on at Memorial Coliseum and a little bit going

433
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 2: on at so Far at the same time, which might

434
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 2: make for an interesting broadcast, I don't know, but kind

435
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 2: of a weird event to attend in person.

436
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 4: And horrible traffic.

437
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 2: Uh, we're a mess. We're not We're so not ready

438
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 2: for the Olympics. But that might be a conversation after

439
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 2: this point is made. There is now an official motion

440
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 2: at LA City Hall was approved by the City Council's

441
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 2: ad Hoc Committee on the twenty twenty eight Olympic and

442
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 2: Paralympic Games that supports the relocation of the Olympic closing

443
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 2: ceremony from both the LA Memorial Coliseum and the Stadium

444
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 2: in Inglewood to solely the LA Memorial Coliseum. They also

445
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 2: support the same for the Paralympic closing ceremony from the

446
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 2: stadium in Inglewood to the LA Memorial Coliseum. They say

447
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 2: that there are more events being added to Memorial Coliseum,

448
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 2: makes more sense to just have the whole thing going

449
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 2: on there. There's been like I watched these meetings, right,

450
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 2: This is what I do for KFI, watch the local

451
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: government meetings and even the council meetings. Yes, I mean

452
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 2: that the committee meetings at council, and they're often very enjoyable.

453
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 6: If you're into this.

454
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 4: Sort, you got to get out, Michael, I know, but

455
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 4: I like this stuff.

456
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 2: There's some pretty serious turf wars locally about the Olympics.

457
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,239
Speaker 2: My favorite story I've done so far this year was

458
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 2: city council and Tim Mcoscar being really upset about some

459
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 2: sailing events being moved out of San Pedro to Long

460
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 2: Beach and this long diatribe he went on about how

461
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 2: the wind is better in San Pedro than it is

462
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 2: in Long Beach.

463
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 4: Anything to qualify.

464
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 2: So you've these are neighboring communities down in the Harbor area,

465
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,479
Speaker 2: you know, the South Bay, and you would think that

466
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 2: even though LA is the host city, isn't it right

467
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 2: that LA is the host region, but.

468
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 4: LA has so many.

469
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 3: Smaller cities, neighborhoods, and everyone wants their share of the pie.

470
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 3: Everyone wants their bragging rights to say that they had

471
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 3: this event at their stadium because it draws in a

472
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 3: lot of revenue and it can continue making money for

473
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,239
Speaker 3: years to come. The reason that we'reider that we talk

474
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 3: about the Memorial Coliseum in terms of years is because

475
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 3: of how much of an impact it made in was

476
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 3: it thirty two eighty four, and then what it will make.

477
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 4: In twenty twenty eight. They want their share of the pie.

478
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 9: I wonder if I got that which takes more events

479
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 9: out of the city of Los Angeles, And we conditionally

480
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 9: said take those events out of Los Angeles, begrudgingly, but

481
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 9: move sailing back in. That was a condition precedent.

482
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 2: That was a councilman temc Oscar explaining his anger at

483
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 2: the time over the relocation of sailing and out of

484
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 2: San Pedro to Long Beach.

485
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 9: I'll be prepared to invoke motion number one of twenty

486
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 9: eight for twenty eight, which asks what is the process

487
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 9: that takes us to a dispute and how do we

488
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 9: arbitrate or litigate that issue?

489
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 2: I mean, he was threatening, like let's let's go, let's

490
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 2: go to court. And so now you've got, you know,

491
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 2: these little turf wars that are taking I wish I

492
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 2: could find.

493
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 3: These jobs in otherwise to people want jobs in their

494
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 3: area and their city, and it will take those jobs

495
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 3: in place them somewhere else.

496
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 6: I mean, it's true.

497
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 2: I mean these boundaries are not invisible. They do have

498
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 2: economic consequences. And yes, if you're Los Angeles and there's

499
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 2: money to be made and you desperately needed, then I

500
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 2: get it.

501
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 6: I really wish I could find where he loses his mind.

502
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 9: A week and a half ago. A week and a

503
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 9: half ago, we unanimously approve their venue plan, which takes

504
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 9: more events out of the city of Los Angeles, and

505
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 9: we conditionally said take those events out of Los Angeles. Begrudgingly,

506
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 9: accurately or inaccurately, purposefully or accidentally presents the plan to

507
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 9: the IOC, and I will be listening to they are

508
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 9: not presenting the appropose I am.

509
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 6: I know I played it for our listeners. So today

510
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 6: he was so.

511
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 2: Mad, but he can here, it's not going to be

512
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 2: Long Beach. It's not going to be Long Beach. Paying

513
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 2: for it it's gonna be us. I'll find that for

514
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 2: another day. And I can't find in my arm feel

515
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 2: the emotion. Yeah, I got to find out what I

516
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 2: named it to admit what he said. It's one of

517
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 2: my all time favorite sound bites. Timic Oscar so angry

518
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 2: that long beach thought it had better wind than San Pedro.

519
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 2: But this is where we find ourselves. I don't think

520
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 2: we're ready for the Olympics. And obviously that's tracked all

521
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 2: a few years out, well two and a half years out.

522
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 2: Really we're still doing the shineyl Lake. What I mean,

523
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 2: what I'm saying is we're not ready to be ready.

524
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 2: We're not ready to even do the things that are.

525
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 2: Traffic is still a disaster. The city is filthy, it's

526
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 2: utter chaos.

527
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 6: City. This is Oh God help us.

528
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 4: But come one, come on, come busy.

529
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll runt out my place. There you go, sub

530
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 6: let it.

531

554
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 6: Oh that's great, thank you.

555
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,440

00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 2: for that.

559
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 4: Sorry I'm over here. I love I just a door George.

560
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 6: Good dude, you hold on to hear from a listener.

561
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 10: Oh okay, hey, Tiffany, I'm in a word for management

562
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 10: for you. I think you should take over the seven

563
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 10: to ten pm slot weeknights. Wows you missed the viral load.

564
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 10: Oh go get them girl.

565
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 6: Now.

566
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 2: I only played that because she said she was going

567
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 2: to management about you. I must have misread the last

568
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 2: you know.

569
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 4: Thank you. That's so Jane and.

570
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 6: And it's correct.

571
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 8: Uh.

572
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 2: Tiffany always does a great job. We love listening to

573
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 2: her on Saturday's Big Things Ahead, No doubt. Let's hear

574
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 2: another beautiful message for Tiffany.

575
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 11: No way, it's time to put Tiffany Hobbs in the

576
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 11: nine o'clock hour. She's smart. I guess she's got a

577
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 11: very good radio voice. She's interesting to listen to. So

578
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 11: I think if KFI doesn't do something pretty soon, they're

579
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 11: going to continue to lose listeners in the evening. So

580
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 11: let's get with it. KFI. Put Tiffany Hobbs in that

581
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 11: nine o'clock hour and do it. Now.

582
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 4: That's in order, give me that hour.

583
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 6: That's in order. You're gonna have to be working nights.

584
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 3: No, no, not Night's nine o'clock hour. I'm getting that

585
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 3: one hour and strong.

586
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, you could handle that.

587
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 2: Hey, guys, usci Cola for years shared the same home field,

588
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 2: Moral Coliseum. That's why they both wear their home colors

589
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 2: during the rivalry game.

590
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 6: So if they did it before, they might be able

591
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 6: to do it again. All right, thank you, thanks for

592
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 6: that history.

593
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 2: Okay, if you were listening in our previous segment, I

594
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 2: was trying to find that clip of Councilman Timocoscar losing

595
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 2: his mind over the wind.

596
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 6: I think I found it.

597
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 2: I didn't get to listen to it before we even

598
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 2: came back, but this for my own enjoyment. We've been

599
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 2: talking about these the local turf wars over who gets

600
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 2: to do what for the Olympics, and Councilman Timmick Oscar

601
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 2: several months ago was very upset about sailing events being

602
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 2: moved from San Pedro to Long Beach. I think they've

603
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 2: figured out that situation and reconciled. But back then he

604
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 2: was ticked.

605
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 9: Moving sailing to San Pedro is better for the athlete,

606
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 9: it's better for the sport of sailing, it's better for

607
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 9: safety and security, it's better for the viewer, and it's

608
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 9: better for Los Angeles, every single experienced sailor, from Olympians

609
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 9: to folks that run the sale GP event, it's better

610
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 9: tell us that the winds are consistent and better in

611
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 9: San Pedro. What will it be for the athlete? Better

612
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 9: wind and spectators? What will it be for safety and security?

613
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 9: I guarantee you that sam Pedro would be the safest

614
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 9: Olympic event in the history of the Olympics. When I

615
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 9: will tell you that selling tickets to the number of

616
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 9: maybe ten thousand or selling tickets to the number of

617
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 9: zero has a mathematical and financial difference.

618
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 6: And it's not gonna be born by Long Beach.

619
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 9: It's gonna be born by us.

620
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 2: And I love it because it's just it's it's an

621
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 2: argument about wind. I mean, there are obviously other stakes

622
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 2: involved here.

623
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 6: You know, it's his.

624
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 4: District and fired up about that wind out there.

625
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 2: Very very fired up about the wind. And the thing

626
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 2: is that he does get fired up on occasion about

627
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 2: this or that. But like you think about the major
